Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

I made a rather decadent dinner last night for my company. I pull my deep fryer out of the cupboard maybe once or twice a year, usually to make falafels. This time I made a battered deep fried oyster mushrooms, with home cut fries, and I made a simple coleslaw for a side. I followed this basic recipe if anyone is interested in trying it. It was amazingly delicious.

 
I didn’t like some of the pasty’s I had in Cornwall last year, ironically. Cornwall is famous for their pasty’s.

I bought some pitta bread and lemon and coriander houmous so I’m going to have a big pitta with the houmous, mashed avocado, lettuce and tomato for dinner. I have some Nomo chocolate and ice cream for dessert.

That recipe DOES sound unreal! I'm thinking it would be so delicious, it wouldn't need to be dipped in anything. It's interesting that he explains you can cool off and strain the cooking oil, using it for something else later. I'd probably worry about unhealthy chemicals forming from the heat of frying, but I suppose this could happen with any fried food. And anyway, that would probably be more of a concern with the deep fryers in fast food restaurants (where I think basket after basket of food is cooked in the same oil over the course of the day).
 
I was traveling, so I packed a PB&J sandwich and some pretzels. I will have a proper holiday meal that is yet to be determined, lol.

That's kind of sad. o_O

I had a bowl of leftover mole style black bean & butternut chili with a sprinkle of Tajin. Toasted wholemeal artisan bread with spread.

Granary baguette with Violife cream cheeze

Skyr soya yogurt with mango puree.

Lol, I agree! It was a timing thing, since I was traveling during my usual dinner time. And I had to work all day before I left, so I had no time to really do much cooking-wise. I am still at my friends’ house, so I will make something tasty when I get home.
 
I’m not feeling that hungry today and all I have had is toast. My husband did buy pizza from Aldi yesterday so I might have one with salad later.
